Yeah...not a big fan.

Pettersson should move to wing after the draws and give the middle over to MR

Right now, they are tied in FO%, so I see no need to complicate the draw.

But I agree, from what both players seem to have to give at this point, I think I prefer Rossi as the set-up man, and EP as the trigger man.

Ya but who are they trying to pump and dump?

Great point.

Ultimately, anyone (See: no core yet, above), but more EP than MR, I should think.

But I think a strong stat line does much of the pumping, and I think they both get more points with Rossi at centre than Pettersson.

Whoever emerges? Or both.

Better to pump Petey, but if the combo works, Petey finally finds a winger (or center?) to click with and both players stocks soar, I'm all for it.

No better time to experiment with crazy ideas than when points don't matter. We're playing 84 preseason games so why not? Switch back to Jake next game if it looks like shit.

Be careful what you wish for.

MR & EP start putting up numbers stellar enough for the returns y'all are hoping for (Sweet) FA may change his rebuild tune overnight.

...look for FA with dollar signs in his eyes and its on...Franky in the sky with new plans....Franky in the sky with new plans....

Canucks reported at 2.05 billion, 20th o/a in the league in recent valuation releases btw...

There's that.

I call revolt if FatAss derails another rebuild.

Ah, the Fatass riots of 26-27. Wasn't that a time!
